STIR AT THE ARTISTS, DINNER.

axnnrtadIv Droaanta gtn,aaIF

There was quite stir at the bi-weekly din
ner given on Saturday evening by the Artists
Club at Welckers. 1t appears that an artist Of
this city was not included in the invitations to
the dinner, but, by some misunderstanding,
presented himself among the guests. He was
at once informed that his presence was not de-
sired, whereupon he proceeded TO leave the
dining room. At the doorway he halted, aud,
table that they were crowd of daubs, with one
or two exceptions; that he had had his pictures
accepted in the best galleries of Europe that
in Paris he had been dined by 200 artists OF
Europe and America, and that he didn't give a
picayune for the Artists Clubs dinners. The
members were silent, and when the disgusted
knight of the brush had finished speaking he
turned on his heel and disappeared.

Hon. g. w. Jones Speaks OF the
NOWth.

In the Detroit Free Press we find the
remarks of Hon. G. w. Jones, who was
the orator of the evening At the celebra-
tion of St. Patrick's Day in that city.
He spoke eloquently, sketching the rise
and progress of the American republic,
and finally referring to the labor troubles
that have threatened disaster, he argued
that the Federal government should not
involve itself by measures of interference
between capital aud labor which would
commit it to one side and array the other
against it. We have space only for his
reference to the South:
Coming - do from the far South, where the
great battle OF my life was fought amid difficult
ties and trials which . deep sensibiliy of feeling
will not permit me TO describe, shall venture
on this occasion 10 say few words In regard 10
that interesting section Of our country.
When We speak Of the New South, II cannot
be meant that any material change has taken
place 10 the character or qualities of the people,
nor do think Il desirable that there should be
any change, for am sure from what know of
them, II one did take place, II would be for the
worse. They are generous, brave, OPEN hearted
people, utterly devoid OF the close, calculating.

the countryi strongly developed, and as free

they are misunderstood yet. I have lived

been asked ct the North how 1t was that reach
ed the Senate from such Q beginning, among a
people that were % proud and naughty and that

This b . mistaken view. In my early DAYS

Hon. S. G. McLendon, attorney for the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
Company, arrived in the city Tuesday to
confer with the committee of citizens ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions to the
railroad to Townsville. He was accom-
panied by Capt c. A. Reynolds, the long
time Chief Engineer of the g., F. and w.,
who was to Immediately commence q sur.
vey of the route if the committee reported
a sufficient amount in money notes and
land deeds to indicate that the full sum
required would be made up within the
specified time. This the committee were
unable to do, for though they had SUBJ
scriptions for An amount that would
doubtless have secured the immediate
survey, the deeds to the lands pledged
were not in hand to show. The
proposition of the S. F. and w. being
strictly Q business transaction must be
met in business way, and if We would
have the railroad no time should be lost
in making deeds of the lands promised,
and then actual values will prove compli.
ance with the proposition. We earnestly
direct attention to what is essential if we
would have the road-that 10, additional

Bright Prospects for Two Florida
Towns.


Bright Prospects for Two Florida
1t certainly looks as if Townsville would
soon be connected with Monticello and ITALIA
hassee, Fla, by railroads The reports respect
ing the progress that is being made 10 securing
the necessary means for building branches of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway from
Townsville to both of those thriving Florida
towns are very encouraging. As is well known,
the proposition is that if Monticello and Talla-
hassee will grade the roads To the Georgia line,
the Savannah Florida and Western viii. do MI
the rest. Tallahassee and Leon county have
raised nearly $4,000. and Monticello and Jrfer-
son county have raised nearly $2O.OO0. These
amounts approximate the sums required 0f
them The railway connections they will secure
will be invaluable to them, and will open up 10
settlement and development one of the most
beautiful aud fertile sections OF Florida
In Leon county alone there are about 400 900
acres of arabic land, every acre Of which will he
made more desirable and much of it very much
more valuable by reason of increased railroad
facilities 1t would be little less than calamity
to the towns and counties which will be bene-
flied by these facilities, it, for lack Of the neces
sary energy and enterprise, they should fail TO
get them.
Savannah 10, of course watching the efforts In
because If they are built they will bring back to
her commercial domain territory which has
been invaded, and, 10 great extent, captured
by New Orleans, Mobile and Jacksonville.
Under existing conditions Savannah has to fight
for the share Oi the business of this fertile region
which she gets, but if these branches are built
her commercial supremacy in Southern Georgia
and Middle Florida will be beyond dispute. She
has, therefore, very lively interest 10 what is
being done 10 behalf OF these proposed roads,
and is anxioua that the people of Leon and JEFF
ferson counties shall make as much haste as
possible to do their part towards building them
The surveys will be begun within day or
two, and when they are completed it will be
known what the amounts are hich the people
Of Leon and Jefferson counties will have to
raise. There is reason to doubt that they
will RAISE it promptly. The Savannah, Florida
and Western is ready to begin work as soon as
its conditions are complied with. 1t would not
be surprising If trains would be running between
ThOmasvilie and Tallahassee and Thomasville
and Monticello before the end Of the present
year. 1t will not take long 10 build the roads
after the order for their construction 10 given.
